Will mine handle?
I have poured through the make it handle thread, but I am looking for something a little milder.
My truck will serve as daily driver status, as well as parts hauler. I have tried to maintain an overall stock exterior appearnce, other than ride height. I am hoping i can carve some corners with this set up. Here is what I have done, Front A Arms and spindles replaced with 74-87 parts. Tierods all new later pieces, new balljoints, All bushings are new poly urathane CPP 1.25" sway bar, with shorter mounting brackets. CPP Shock reinforcing brackets Pro Comp Toxic shocks for lower app CPP 3" drop coils with 1/2 coil cut off 350 engine in 6 cyl mounts, so the wieght is farther back Rear CPP 5" drop springs CPP rear shock relocation mounts Pro Comp Toxic shocks for lower app CPP Long Adj Panhard bar Rear mounted Blazer tank Wheel are 17x7.5" FJ steelies Tires are 235/60/17 Nexen At this point, I am guessing the wheel and tire combo is my limiting factor. I would like to go with something a little wider and stickier, but options are very limited. I am not looking to burn up the auto cross, but would like to be able to hit the on ramps with enough force to scare some of the rice burners with camber issues out of the way! Any thoughts? suggestions?
